Can Floyd handle a shot from Canelo?

well pac dropped mosley and canelo fought an older mosley and had a harder time with him. so he hasn't got as much power as pac imo but obviously the power is there. but i feel floyd also has the power to hurt canelo because canelo has been rocked numerous times. jmm decapitated pac and it doesnt mean he has more power than canelo...

Alvarez isn't a 1 punch KO hitter even if he landed his best shot flush, it wouldn't stop Floyd he might be able to hurt him, but he wouldn't blow through him not expecting any such a shot to land in that fight anyway Alvarez would do better throwing his power shots to the body seeing how Floyd could take those shots is more intriguing marquez isnt either but pacman still sleeping...

September 15th: canelo would have won if Floyd stood still and let him hit him LOL...but true!

Mosleys haymaker is better than Canelos left hook so yeah i guess so

He can probably take a few punches but if Canelo slips a counter in and catches Floyd flush, I could see Floyd hitting the canvas. More than likely, Canelo would have to land a series of left hooks to the body over the course of the fight and force Floyd to take a knee.

When there's uncertainty about a question like this you know you have a great fight ahead. Trout had never been dropped or hurt the way he was against Canelo, Mayweather can take a good shot but against a big junior middleweight? Wrong Trout was hurt pretty badly and dropped bad in the amateurs vs Vanes, with bigger gloves and head gear:boxing:

If Canelo lands three of his best body punches, and I think there is a good chance of this. I think that Floyd will either go down or run the rest of the fight. However, I don't think that Floyd can be effective enough throwing isolated punches to win a decision against Canelo, and run. Canelo is too good for that. Forget Floyd knocking out Canelo. I think there is very little chance of that. There is much better chance of a Canelo tko.

It'd be funny if Floyd were able to KO Canelo, but i highly doubt it can happen. I probably have a better chance at winning the Powerball than Floyd knocking anyone out at this stage in his career.

If Canelo lands his best punches I think he is quite capable of scoring a ko.Maybe not with one blow but he could hurt him and follow up with his fast accurate combinations. Canelo has the killer instinct and he is a good finisher. He knocked Baldomir out cold with one left hook and nobody had ever even floored Baldomir before that.I think Mosley was just wrong when he said Canelo and Floyd have the same punching power. I believe Lopez when he said Canelo hits much harder and faster than Ortiz. Floyd does have good punching power and he could KO Canelo as well in my opinion but it would take him lots of punches to do it.

I doubt the Ginger will hit Cherrypicker with anything significant. And even if the Ginger does land, Cherrypicker will be able to take it... its not like the Ginger is a murderous puncher. Don't have to be a murderous puncher , just got to land the perfect punch as JMM showed and that's down to timing .

Im a canelo fan and i believe in his talent but if mathew hatton could take a shot from canelo without goin down so can mayweather. 2 different leagues of athletes.

Part of trouts knockdown was he slipped pulling back. He was so "hurt" the next round was his best of the fight.

Absolutely. No question.

You are comparing a young Lion to an old Platypus Did Shane land flush and give us the rare site of floyd stunned? Of course shane was past prime but there power is still comparable. The last thing to go is ur power.

September 15th: canelo would have won if Floyd stood still and let him hit him lol this!!!! the people who think this way are just worthless

We'll find out. When Mayweather's against the ropes and Canelo unleashes a combination it will be interesting to see. Floyd wont allow Canelo to get any combos off,he will move and once he gets on the ropes he will tie Canelo up
